Efficient use of the grid by coordinating electricity use on industrial areas with collective contracts
The electricity grid is being used more and more intensively. As a result, we can no longer facilitate new transport requests in more and more places. By coordinating electricity consumption on industrial estates, we can use the grid more efficiently. In this way, economic growth and sustainability can continue. To facilitate this, the Dutch grid operator is developing the group contract for transport capacity.
